This small fossil artwork, titled Space Invader, belongs to Foundryon’s Small Galactic Fossils series. Despite its size, it carries a bold presence. With its conical seashell body mounted against an ornamental Art Nouveau-inspired backdrop, the silhouette curiously recalls the iconic pixel aliens of early video games. Both humorous and uncanny, it feels like a fossilized relic from a parallel arcade-era universe—half natural history, half cultural echo.
